And are ye sure the news is true? And are ye sure he’s weel? Is this a time tae think o’ wark? Ye jauds, fling by your wheel. Is this a time tae think o’ wark, When Colin’s at the door? Rax me my cloak, I’ll tae the quay, And see him come ashore.

Rise up and mak’ a clean fireside, Put on the muckle pot: Gi’e little Kate her cotton goun, And Jock his Sunday coat. And mak’ their shoon as black as slaes, Their house as white as snaw; It’s a’ tae please my ain gude man, For he’s been lang awa’.

Sae true his heart, sae smooth his tongue, His breath like caller air; His very foot has music in’t As he comes up the stair. And will I see his face again? And will I hear him speak? I’m doonricht dizzy wi’ the thocht, In troth, I’m like tae greet.
